The Mery Project - a new free rig for animators!

One of the many benefits of animating in Maya is the large and growing global community of artists who collaborate on freeware projects, bringing to life excellent animation rigs like Norman and Morpheus. The latest free character rig to be released looks like being The Mery Project - available to Maya users very soon.

In the meantime, here is a list of some of the rigs that we recommend our students
use, and which we think are the best for animation training. They are
all free to use, though their creators should always be credited.
Industry professionals always give credit where it is due.

Bouncing Ball.
The best place for beginners to start learning animation. You will have
to register with Creative Crash first, but it's free and they don't
send spam.
